What stands out about Orofino Joint District
- Estimated teacher pay here moved +10.6% between FY2019 and FY2023, trailing Idaho's statewide +21.5% by 10.8 points, a growth rate faster than 23% of the 109 Idaho districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
- Enrolment grew 9.7% here, from 1,031 students in FY2019 to 1,131 in FY2023, against a national picture where far more districts shrank than grew over the same period. Growth of this kind typically arrives before the funding that follows it, so per-pupil figures often dip while a district absorbs it.
